HEY !!!...I LIKE that last pic.  NICE!

  Michel, today I saw the biggest eagle I have seen in my life....and I've seen a LOT of eagles.  He was a MONSTER bird.....absolutely huge.  I never knew they got that big.  I wished I had my camera with me.  Even a bad pic would have been better than no pic. Rats !

Ya....it's a great shot.

  I think I might take my camera back to the same place tomorrow, and see if he is there.  They often hang around this particular place.  It's worth a try.

No....haven't abandoned the idea.....just not tops on the priority list for now.

  I have heard no reports of any cougars around here lately....yet I'm still on the look-out when I'm outside.

I understand the being away from family part, but you experience so much of the world at the same time.

Ick ick ick ! [div style="font-style: italic;"] [/div] Van guy, I was reading about those dry land leeches, and it says that Tiger Balm works good to prevent them from leeching on in the first place....as well as getting them off.

I'm with you on the ick - imagine crawling on your hands and knees in a pich black cave it's hot and sweaty and then a couple of these go skittering above you-and they are creepy fast.

Tiger balm ... hmmm i like that stuff - thanks for the tip.

Yeah it's the best of times and the worst of times.  
Some days it is very worth it but many it is not.  

One of the things i think about is that my kids will see that i work all over the world - and well if your dumb old dad can do it ... maybe they will think they can do anything they want ... no limit to their horizons.

I was really hoping that i would find a gig in the city this year and settle down a bit - but then the economy went into the toilet so now I'm hoping maybe next year ...

I've been told about like a bee - but not sure if you can get an anaphalactic (sp?) reaction.
